Formalities and Health
Physical fitness:

Passport, Visa, Green Card and Mandatory Documentation:
Passport is mandatory to travel to Morocco, and may not expire within 6 months prior to the expected date of return, in which case it must be renewed before the trip. Europeans do not need a visa. If it is the first time in Morocco, it is necessary at least 4 blank pages in the passport…
The Green Card is essential to enter Morocco, in case of not having it or if it is expired, the customs service will not allow the motorcycle to enter Morocco. The Green Card is the international policy, normally provided with the ordinary policy.
Vehicles must have the ITV in force.
The vehicle documentation must be in the name of the person traveling with the vehicle. Sometimes there is usually a problem if it is not the same, but the Moroccan authorities are sometimes suspicious and avoid the entry of vehicles that can be susceptible to be sold illegally in the country. In the case that the vehicle is in the name of another owner, it will be necessary an authorization of this one and the photocopy of the DNI that legitimizes the authorization.
Security:
One of the most important sources of income of the Alawite country is tourism, currently one of the government’s objectives is to become a major tourist power, especially oriented to Europeans, which is why the tourist is usually quite pampered by the authorities, which ensure their welfare, the same goes for trade and people in general.
Nevertheless, it is not advisable to relax with the security measures that we usually take when we travel to any other country in the world.
The motorcycles will spend the night in closed enclosures, either from the hotel or under custody hired by the agency, this does not imply that Ruta Cero Tours assumes any responsibility in the event of any theft.
Timetable:
Please note that Morocco has a time difference of – 1 or 2 hours compared to the mainland.
Money:
The official currency in Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham, whose exchange rate usually oscillates around 1€ = 11 Dirham approximately.
ATMs are quite common in the cities, but not in the rural areas.
We advise you to carry some Dirham before crossing the border in order not to lose too much time when you cross it.
